THE ATLAS / OWNERSHIP

Ownership is a relationship.

Separate legal title, economic interests, borrowing and investment. A financial connection does not necessarily confer operational control.

Title and benefit

Legal ownership and economic benefit can sit in different places, particularly where trustees, custodians or pooled funds are involved.

Debt is not equity

A secured lender holds rights under a loan and security arrangement. A mortgage is not equivalent to outright ownership of the home. Loan security.

Indirect investment

A super member has an interest under fund rules. That does not give the member direct control over each underlying business. Super explained.
